The Dentist door swung eerily open
before I even had the chance
to place my sweating palms
upon the dusted handle......
damn... why did I come alone.
"Turn around, turn around,
leave and go home..."
whispered the echoed pleas
quivering my soul.
Ghouls of nurses slowly surround,
trapped, strapped, no way out.
He entered the room
with a sly grimace upon his face.....
"Welcome, dear child,"
holding up x-rays
salivating wickedly,
"I see you have a mighty gift for me,
the teeth of wisdom young mortal
is my treasure, bounty and relief."
Too frightened to speak,
I dig my nails into the chair
hoping today will not be
the last breath I take.......
A mask is firmly placed
upon my shivering face.
Fading slowly, eyes heavy,
heavier, closed, no escape.
I hear his mocking whisper,
"...breathe...breathe....
release your flesh unto me."
and fight as I might...I....obediently obeyed.
Awoken by the soothing sound
of familiar comfort,
my mothers kiss assures me
I am safe, sound, and home.
Here I lay, his bounty paid,
ice-cream, jello, soup
hungering and wondering....
Was he truly real or my unspoken fears
tormented and released.
